:first_quarter_moon_with_face: Evening Check in :first_quarter_moon_with_face:
Day 172
Grateful for this day/evening and for the effort I put into today. Itā€™s been a rollercoaster of emotion today but Iā€™d rather feel what I feel than numb it out and then suffer even worse pain, guilt, shame, disgust, etc. Iā€™m overall happy with the daily choices I make today. I really try to do things with intention (itā€™s sort of been my mantra). Anyway hereā€™s a little laugh for u all lol
Hopefully not so much today :rofl::

Day 153

No desire to use. Some desire to smoke cbd, which i do rarely like once a month. Saw a movie i liked with my mom. Bought some paint and refinishing supplies. A long day. Some things got done and some didnt. I ate well. Grateful for my childhood cat. My cats now. The dog. My family. Friends. Strangers. Good words written by other people, that last.

Will be day 157 of no self harm in a few hours.

Doing decent today. Ordered 4tb of storage for my Xbox so that came today. I also bought my dog a toy and she is absolutely in love with it. Sheā€™s too cute

Watching an anime with my friend tonight. Itā€™s called bunny girl senpai, the name doesnā€™t give it credit. Itā€™s a romance story but itā€™s got a lot of mystery stuff too. Havenā€™t been this invested into any kind of tv show or anything in a while (other than when I watched succession). Itā€™s probably less because the show is so good and more because I have less to worry about right now. I can actually relax a bit without having to worry about my gf doing something irrational or getting angry ( now ex gf).

Iā€™ve been doing really really well with food. Eating 2 meals a day or at least a meal and a snack a day. Used to be lucky to eat one meal a week. Itā€™s an adjustment physically, my stomach has shrank so much Iā€™m still having issues finishing a full meal but I try my best to. I feel a lot more energy and Iā€™ve stopped logging my food intake so Iā€™m not judging myself for it.

I hope you all are well. Sending good vibes. Getting my new tattoo tomorrow so I will post photos :slight_smile:

Coffee. Working weekend. Not so much to say this early AM. Iā€™m OK. Iā€™m sober and clean. Just for today. I hope and expect the same from all of you as thatā€™s why weā€™re here. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Love from the flower garden close to my old job. Thatā€™s one thing I miss from working there. I should visit more often

Good morning everyone, I hope that you are all well today. Things over here in CH are going relatively well, we had some rain last night, so that has moderated the temperature, fortunately. Iā€™m getting really tired of this heat.
Anyway, back to Italy tomorrow, various things to doā€¦
My house in Italy is now ā€œofficiallyā€ up for sale, so Iā€™m really hoping that it will sell quickly. Amazon has recently opened its major distribution / management centre in my town, so Iā€™m hoping that that will help.
Hi @maxwell, how are you doing today ? Iā€™m on day 3 again, and all is well.
Anyway, I should get back to studying (Japanese)ā€¦ I have an internet lesson later today !
Have a good day, everyone.

Checking into Day 15 wouhhuu! :hibiscus::purple_heart::sunglasses:

I survived yesterdayā€™s hardly cravings. Thanks to the people here, reminding me why I took the choice to stay sober. That was sooooo helpful yesterday. :revolving_hearts:

I woke up happy and relaxed after doing an incredible swim training yesterday in the eveningā€¦ Never had such a good time on long distance before (3000m in 1h3m)! Maybe it is because of recovery. :partying_face::muscle:t2:

I will take a walk to grocery store now and put some things I sorted out in a gift box. After that I will have breakfast and then some cleaning and decluttering and reorganizing my clothes.
Siesta in the afternoon for sure :sleeping::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Have a wonderful and clean day :v:t2:

Hi Kat,
Have you talked about taking the L-tyrosine with your doctor ore therapist? I know that itā€™s not good to combine anti depressants and L-tyrosine. They can cause a serotonine syndome.
Just wanna let you know :hugs:
